Beira Stole

Introducing our exquisite long rectangular stole, featuring an elegant undulating wave pattern at the edges and a captivating central diamond shape outlined with intricate cables and a textured slip-stitch pattern. This gorgeous stole measures 10" x 75" for the smaller version and 16" x 75" for the larger version, both sizes being beautifully enhanced after blocking. Originally crafted in Snowshoe Farm Alpacas' luxurious 100% DK-weight alpaca yarn, this design is versatile enough to accommodate a variety of substitutes. Any heavy sport weight or DK weight yarn with a lovely drape will work beautifully, allowing you to customize your stole to match your style. For the smaller version, you'll need approximately 650 yards of yarn, while the larger version will require around 1100 yards. Our sample is showcased in the stunning smaller 10" x 75" size, perfect for those who appreciate a delicate touch. The design of this stole is inspired by Beira, the Scottish Goddess of Winter. According to legend, during the spring thaw, she would sit atop the mountains and use her hammer to break through the mountaintops, allowing the snow melt to flow gracefully into the valleys below, ultimately forming the breathtaking Loch Ness. This enchanting story adds a touch of mythology to your knitting experience. This knitting pattern is available as a stand-alone piece for those who wish to focus solely on this beautiful stole, and it is also included in Legendary Knits, Volume 2, which was released in Spring 2014.
